[quote=Anonymous]Let them play whatever they want.  By about sixth grade, they probably need to be playing a sport more seriously if they want to go that route.

As far as the public schools being more competitive -- no way.  Especially for the smaller sports like lacrosse and basketball.  The big exception might be football, but even there schools like DeMatha and Gonzaga usually have the strongest programs despite their relatively small size.  Most of the best teams and players are private and Catholic.  But the real competition for all the sports is now with the clubs. The level of competition at the top clubs is higher than high school varsity.  DD's 8th grade club basketball team played high school varsity teams in the fall league in close games.

All sports are competitive here. There is no easy in.  Even sports that are not in high schools like figure skating are competitive around here.  And not all kids want to play.  Take your cues from the kid.  If they wanna play something, give it a go.[/quote]
